First, if you have a hang, there should be associated error state. Can
you please submit the error state somewhere.
Here are directions for filing bugs:
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html

I'm just eyeballing it, so this may be off, but I think you're running
an old driver because I don't think you have the new TLB INVALIDATE
flags in the right places. I'm not sure if the patches went into
-fixes, or -queued. These are pretty recently added and fix some known
issues. 

The following would be answered with the error state, but moving past
that too for a moment... you say you hang at 0x64. You need to be
more specific than that. How do you know you are hung there? At least
the debug registers I am aware of only tell how far the Command
Streamer has fetched, and parsed. The GPU does not execute the commands
synchronously, and so PIPE_CONTROL is used to make sure the commands
are executed and their side effects flushed.

As an example of the above, if you invoke a shader in a batch which has
an infinite loop, your program would hang at the PIPE_CONTROL.
